I have been afflicted by many diseases in Cambodia deemed rare in other countries Like it or not no one lives forever, including loved ones. Medical practice is highly overrated by optimists on this forum. So my plan is not to dodge real problems but to accept the consequences of not being wealthy which is a piss poor excuse for living in fear of what might happen.

Would you really easily accept someone in your family dying of a disease that could be cured by spending a few thousand dollar in Western healthcare knowledge?"

Look if I worried about everything bad that can happen to people in Cambodia, I'd have to move. However:

1/ I do care about myself and my family. Your Western values are of no concern or interest to me.

2. Now after all that fucking rain, I have grounds work to do. For me that is a real problem not a vague fear of what might be.

Good. No need for insurance if you can cough a few grand I guess.

But health insurance saved my wife's life 3 years ago. Two sides to every story I guess.

That is your overwhelming obsession-safety, even for strangers. lol

I don't just imagine but many people on this site will have lost family members and loved ones. And more then likely friends overseas.
Insurance, you have or not have, simple choice of your own. Afford it or not. I myself never had. I was quoted recently a premium of $1500.
